Peanut lovers will appreciate this yummy dessert I dreamed up. A brownie-like crust is packed with nuts, topped with a fluffy peanut butter layer and covered with whipped topping and more nuts. It was so well received that I made it for a local restaurant where I used to work. -Karen Kutruff, New Berlin, Pennsylvania Ingredients:
1 package chocolate cake mix (regular size) |
1/2 cup butter, melted |
1/4 cup milk |
1 egg |
1 cup chopped peanuts, divided |

1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk |
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
